Anti-Wrong: I Could Care Less
No, that makes very little sense in the context it is normally used.
It should be, "I couldn't care less".
It should be, "I couldn't care less".
Anti-Wrong: Speed Kills
As a motorcyclist, I get this line from concerned individuals that automatically associate a quick moving unprotected rider with instant death. It is, in fact, not dangerous to ride ... but it is dangerous to stop incorrectly ... like into a tree, wall, or automobile.
It is the stopping wrong that kills ... the brutal deceleration.
Yes, technically any life form containing flesh and bodily fluids could reach a speed so fast that it would rip them to shreds ... but that would be well over Mach 1 and requiring rockets.
"The highest speed attained by a human without an aircraft is held by Capt. Joseph Kittinger. In Aug. 1960 Capt. Kittenger rode a balloon gondola to an altitude of 102,200 and stepped out. After a freefall of 84,700 feet in which he attained a speed of 614MPH. He landed safely. His freefall lasted a total of 4 minutes and 38 seconds." - (quoted from Yahoo Answers)

Fighting Wrongness with Anti-Wrong
I am really tired of so many wrong things ... this blog is dedicated to evaluate issues that are inherently wrong.
